christie supporters including rudy giuliani, pointed out zimmer has changed her story. >> mayor zimmer just shortly before she made this revelation said she didn't believe any hold-up in the funds had anything to do with any kind of retribution for not indorsing the governor. >> zimmer explained why she had not come forward sooner. >> i didn't think anyone would believe me, i really didn't. >> our thanks to kelly o'donnell for that report. let's take it to the table and talk about what we learned and what the context is. obviously, this story if you're tuning in on monday, is significantly different as to the charges against the christie administration, than it was when we left on friday. that's largely due to this mayor speaking out, first to steve kornacki here, and then speaking out forceally elsewhere, as we saw. i think the largest context is important. people say, oh, is this politics as usual? no, but it may be crimes as usual in the sense that there is a history of doing politics this way, leading to criminal acts in new jersey. we don't have all the facts on this yet, but we w

the quote is "the governor and mayor zimmer have had a productive relationship with mayor zimmer even recently saying she's very glad he's been our governor. it's very clear partisan politics are at play here as democratic mayors with a political axe to grind come out of the woodwork and try to get their faces on television." what's the latest you're hearing, heather? >> what's interesting about that statement is we really see now that the governor's office is pushing back at this story aggressively. so in the beginning, we had the two-hour press conference. relatively quiet after that. last week we had jersey city mayor in his allegations about meetings cancelled with commissioners after he failed to endorse the governor. and now we have the hoboken mayor. so they are really fighting back at this point. they are spinning this as just partisan politics. they say that the mayor has continued to praise the governor publicly and that they're really questioning the timing of why she put this out now, which is a question some others raised. why didn't she raise this when these meetings fir
